It was a lovely autumn night at Pemberley. Two weeks had passed since Fitzwilliam Darcy and I recovered the Pemberley Pearl bracelet. Yet our hearts remained heavy with the knowledge that The Darcy family's diamond necklace, Lady Darcy's Heart, had been stolen. Our engagement was a joyful affair, but we had decided to postpone the marriage until we could find the missing heirloom. Fitzwilliam wished for me to wear it on our wedding day, as a symbol of my union with him and his family.

Then we must not allow them to benefit from their ill deeds! I declared, my determination unwavering. We shall find the necklace and ensure that we have it on our wedding day. We can not let this wonderful tradition end with us, Fitzwilliam.

Are you certain that we should embark on another daring venture so soon after the last? Fitzwilliam asked, his
